Feeling the baby kick.

I felt the baby kick yesterday right before I fell asleep. I've already felt the gurgly, tickly movements in my uterus-area, but this was the first deliberate PING. It felt like a tiny little finger flicking me. From the inside.

I'd just started to doze off when I felt it, and it woke me with a start. Yeah, it's "special" and all, but more than anything it really just felt like someone shaking me saying YOU SERIOUSLY ARE PREGNANT!

I've felt it maybe three times since then, only when I first lie down, and while it does give me a latent, warm-and-fuzzy kind of feeling, I can't help but thinking of the alien from Spaceballs every time. I try to ignore the image, but there it is, in all its tap-dancing glory.
